Old school answers like

i remember, even at the age of 6, that people with those space talking raleigh bikes were spoilt little C-words!! They were incredibly expensive, and there was no chance my parents were going to buy one for me... i think i knew even then that it was beyond a reasonable amount to spend.

Your parents obviously didn't love you!!! They were only £300 for god sake. What were you? some sort of pov &#128513;

£300 was a lot of cash for my parents back then. I also lusted after one of those bikes.

just dropped £15 on a bike for my little one.
£300 is enough to use a pair of new minimotos like rollerskates...

I always found that the sort of kids with this kind of stuff had divorced parents.
